When you tie the cordelette to your anchors the bottom loop is the "master point"
If you worry about having the belay (like a Reverso) and you anchored to the same master point loop, clip the Reverso in above the knot instead of below. Its easier to belay that way too.
Personally I prefer to belay off my harness than off the anchor, but sometimes, eg when using the Reverso and 2 seconds you have to belay off the anchor.
But its all gear geek question anyways.
